One thing I think would be a definite improvement is to have done an RFC on 
Discourse for these changes so that downstreams have a chance to weigh in on 
the impact. The patch was put up on Jul 28 and landed about a week later 
without any notification to the rest of the community who might not be watching 
cfe-commits -- that's a very fast turnaround and very little notification for 
such a significant change.
